weekend's update

was out with B, yesterday and today. did the usuals; took a bunch of couple pics, ate a lot and shopped a lot.

yesterday:
Headed to town for the usual weekend fling, had lunch at Sakura and tea time at Starbucks. I wore out an eyelet tube top, with obi sash belt & black skinny jeans.





today:
decided to head to Lot1, our heartland mall [we stay at CCK] to try out Pasta Mania. [It's Halal now you see.] I wore out a mini floral dress with waisted vintage belt and flipflops. Did some major shopping along the way.






haul post!
Baby is so nice, he decided to did a little splurging on me today, treating me Pasta Mania and paid for my shopping at Cotton On.

from Cotton On:




I got some back to school basics from Cotton On. I love love love Cotton On. I love the fact that they have one at Lot 1 CCK because I totally dig Cotton On's stuffies. Not long ago, I did a major haul at Cotton On, but decided to get more stuff from there.

Got some basic denim pieces because I can count the denim pieces that I own, and 2 flip-flops because they look so much alike like those pretty Haivainas, and at a fraction of the cost which is too hard to resist. Got two primos in Tan and Gold for school. Very cushiony, comfortable flats. Got the bag because it was for a charitable cause, not really my kinda style, so I am planning to give it to my brother. B got a polo shirt for himself.

from Mondo




Saw this pair on sale, so I bought it. Really like the shade of grey, the ribbon and stitch details, the hint of gold at the end of the ribbons and the mix of of materials used just to make the shoe. This is a moderately low pair of heels that I can run in HAHA. Was comtemplating between this and black, got this instead for a change.

High waisted belts


In case you don't already know, I love waisted belts. Got both of them for their interesting details.

I am sucha a shoe and belt freak. 5 pairs and 2 belts within a day. TSK! Did some online shopping and got 2 dresses shown below.

little black dresses:

BOW PUFFED DRESS from a taiwan spree website




FOREVER 21 Fringe Hem Zipper dress



I am a sucker for LBDs and I love them! Received both dresses today via a trade with stuff from my online shop and was pleased with the two items that I got. Gotta love the Forever 21 fringe hem zipper dress, very chic.

Did some online shopping at La Senza UK too, but, is still contemplating whether I should post my hauls up. Bah, too bad I cannot privatise postings at blogspot.

FR3B again!

GOODNESS! how not to love FR3B? I just got the C.A.D Perfect Clear Cleansing Cream priced at SGD$40 for free! I have not tried this item out yet, but heard good reviews about it here.

Happy girl :)

eye makeup

i have had a reader email asking me to show the close-up of my eye makeup. this is a picture, showing my eye makeup, if i bother to put on any. else it is just eyeliner without eyeshadow or mascara.




really simple.

basically i just use an almost black, usually a taupe coloured eyeshadow, matte finish, apply it just before the crease, and then apply my usual black liquid eyeliner. it works for me, giving my eye the depth and intensity. not exactly the usual smokey eye look, because it is a day look.

taking pics this close up, i just realised i need to apply eye cream. i am developing fine lines under eye already. :(

Keeping up a blog like this is hard. It ultimately has to potray this; of purchases, cosmetics, looks, fashion, current muses, love and fun.

It well basically encourages me to spend compulsively to get impulse purchases, buy new cosmetics, counter brands which cost a bomb, waste time on youtube getting inspired by the makeup looks created by talented people, gush over the latest fashion on the runway, gush more on current muses especially cool-to follow-it celebs, camwhore with the love, my darling boyfriend, and having all fun and laughter capturing those moments on film.

I always tell self, it's not all that bad. :)

hauls for the week.

Current hauls, my favourites, laces and dresses.

LACE CROCHET DRESS FROM ALLOY

Remember this post? I was falling head over heels in love with this lace crochet dress from ALLOY but did not buy it because it was USD 41.50. But, since Alloy is having an additional 15% off storewide this week and also the dress was on sale at USD 19.99, more than 50% off, I decided to order this lovely LBD. Will update again once dress arrive.

ZIPPER DRESS LBD FROM RUNWAYDIVA.LJ


I did not purchase this dress, but I got this brand new piece, while trading another brand new dress of mine from my online shop with a lovely girl. Very good thick cotton material and cute tulip bottom!

ARRISA LACE TOP, ALLURE LABEL - MANUFACTURED PIECE FROM RUNWAYDIVA.LJ




A celeb inspired piece, this pretty lace top has M-shape bustline and fully covered with lace. Only see through at the chest area for that slight bit of sexiness :) Toggle button closure and a keyhole at the back.

Chiffon halter back dress from hervelvetvase


Finally! A lovely girl responded to my plea, and she is letting go of her brand new piece, which I excitedly purchased! :) The dress looks just divine, at least to me.

Contact lens solution

If you do not know, I am short-sighted. Though I have a moderately low degree of about 125 each on both eyes, I seldom wear specs, but wear contacts daily. Recently I thought of an ingenious way of obtaining contact lens solution for FREE.

I got them via, FR3B. Though they provide only the sample/ travel sized package, it is after all free for you, and it is a generous sample. I thought it is a brilliant idea to save money on buying saline solutions, and a good way to try out various brands without having to pay for them. Here's some of the contact lens saline solutions that I have redeemed.

COMPLETE® EASY RUB™ Multi Purpose Solution

Sample Set Includes:
1 Complete® Easy Rub™ Multi-Purpose Solution (60ml)
1 Contact Lens Case
1 Product Brochure

Alcon OPTI FREE RepleniSH

Sample Set Includes:
1 120ml Alcon OPTI-FREE contact lens solution
1 Contact Lens Casing

Encore All In One Solution

Sample Set Includes:
5 Tubes of Encore All In One Solution
1 product brochure

P2 revitalise Multi Purpose Solution

Sample Set Includes:
1 box of Travel Pack (10 x 10ml + 1 lens case)

I saw the travel pack of the saline solutions being sold respectively at Watson's for $8 plus each. Decided, it is better to redeem online for freee! To get all your 4 free sets, do redeem them from FR3B. I am only done with my 3rd pack, just recently opened. The two trial bottles lasted me a good 2 months or so. Go get them from FR3B before they are out of stock!

AJC BBQ.

Went for AJC's gathering earlier during the day at Changi Beach. This is some of the pictures taken with Nad's camera. The rest is with Fitrah's

If you cannot recognize me, I am the one in the green floral silk top. I got lazy choosing pictures, so I am uploading all pictures that shows people and those people in the pictures are smiling. No pics of candid, or butt shots. No watermarking whatever, because as already said, I got lazy.

I am only giving introductions to this two girls because pictures are courtesy of them.
Fitrah: The girl in the forefront of the 1st picture holding on to a pair of thongs, looking very jovial.
Nad: The girl in the 2nd picture with me. She is the one in blue tee and black vest.

























I am bending in almost every other pic because I thought I was too tall for the camera. Guess not.
